Aerospace engineer (unofficially) reclaims the drone speed crown From birth to resurrection The drone show took place in Manvel, Texas, across nine nights, beginning with 5,000 drones and building to a peak of 10,000 units.

Scenes followed the life of Jesus from his birth through to the resurrection, with drones forming figures and symbols tied to key moments.

AV Magazine reports the images included Jesus with his disciples, the word Jesus spelled out in the sky, Christ riding a horse, sitting on a large throne, and a crucifixion scene presented on Good Friday.

Organizers spent more than two months preparing the show, coordinating flight paths, animation timing and safety systems across a team of more than 100
crew members. Are you a pro? Subscribe to our newsletter Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed! Contact me with news and offers from other Future brands Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners

Large formations required careful synchronization so thousands of drones
could act as a single animated surface without collisions or loss of signal.

Large-scale drone displays have been growing in scale over recent years, with several attempts to push numbers higher or introduce new visual concepts.

In May 2025, more than 10,000 drones flew in Ho Chi Minh City to mark the
50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification.

China pushed the numbers even higher in November when nearly 16,000 drones formed a synchronized display in Liuyang, a city often called the fireworks capital of the world.

While not as impressive numbers-wise, in December 2025, 2,800 drones formed a playable version of Tetris in the skies of Dubai, and earlier this year,
Apple used 3,000 drones to create a roughly 500-foot Godzilla figure above Hollywood to promote Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season two. Sky Turns
